Has anyone been able to get this installed on windows me. The install fails every time saying the paths are incorrect when they are not. Installs fine on 98, but will not work correctly on ME.

I got the same problem. Finally I installed on W2k. But OCI8 JDBC link and loadjava always don't work.

Just found this on the be.comp forum: Will try it tonight.
-------------------------------------------------
Oracle 8.1.5 Personal Edition
Oracle does not support installing version 8.1.5 PE into
Windows Millennium.
As an unsupported workaround, you may add the following line
to the compatibility95 section of win.ini prior to
installation:

Jrew=0x00080000

After setup is complete, Oracle will recommend a reboot.
There is one additional step necessary prior to reboot;
Oracle may add a non-standard path statement to the
autoexec.bat file. Please modify this SET PATH
statement to use short-filenames if you find a quoted
LFN string represented as part of the path. You can
confirm that the path was merged successfully into the
registry after reboot by examining the PATH variable
in the registry at
HKLM\System\CurrentControlSet\Control\SessionManager\Environment

Symptoms of a missing Oracle path statement in the registry are that Net8 Easy Config will not launch.

Please note that Oracle does not support the use of this
product in Windows ME, but have authorized these workarounds
for testing purposes only.
